I ordered the catalog. How long did it take for your catalog to come?
-
I wear 36" inseams also and I second the Ultra-tall jeans from JC Penney. I have a couple of pairs and they are so comfortable.
Lands End also has 36" inseams. I have this pair and love them:
I also have a pair of boot cut jeans from Long Elegant Legs, but I they are cut a lower then my other jeans so I don't wear them as much.
My sister has good luck getting jeans at Old Navy.
Lastly, I just got these Ultra-tall pants from JC Penney. They are not jeans, but are so cute I thought I would mention:
Edit: I just reread your post and didn't realize that you are looking for 38" inseam. I don't think Eddie Bauer, Lands End or Old Navy carries that length in women's jeans. I think your best bet would be Long Elegant Legs. Also JCPenney has a pair of jeans with a 37 1/2" inseam right now. I just ordered them and they are on back order until Jan. so I haven't tried them on yet. Here is the link:
Thank you for all the links! Thank everyone for their suggestions. I'm ordering the Penney's ones and going to try those. I wish they weren't back ordered. :glare:

This looks great. I added it to a wish list for my dd5's birthday. I think all the kids will enjoy it!

First try the slims as Tracey says.
Then most of them have an adjustable waist. All my kids have needed a different size in heir waist and the length of their legs. (Bigger size needed due to height.) Adjustable waists have saved me.
:iagree:We love adjustable waist Target pants here. They fit great for my girls- all tall and thin.

I'm very long legged. 36" touch the top of a shoe, I prefer 38" so when I sit down they don't become capris, lol. It has made jean shopping a curse word. I have three daughters that are going to hate jean shopping too.
-
I checked their site and can only find 34" inseam. Do you know what kind they are (i.e. 553,518, etc.)?
-
I read the other thread on hard to find jeans and thought I would post one for talls. I require a 36" inseam, minimum. My problem is that all the great jeans I find are for a size 0. I'm a size 8/10 depending on the jean. Are there any tall ladies out there that have discovered some great jeans with long inseam? Please share with me your secret!
tnmomofboys (hope I got the name right) recommended http://www.zafu.com. I went to the website and it recommended 17 types of jeans. I would love to hear personal recommendations from ladies that have worn them. They suggested Eddie Bauer, Long Elegant Legs, and Lucky brands. Anyone have any opinions of these or new recommendations?
-
I recently was struggling to find the perfect jean. I came across this website. It worked for me. I went right out and bought the jean that was recommended and they fit!!!
I loved this! I didn't know there was a sight like this out there.:001_smile:

We use Walmart too.

Our Christmas break always started at Thanksgiving and went through about the middle of January.
We do the same, technically we are on break from Thanksgiving through the second week of January. We have been doing some school each day and it works out okay. It basically releases the stress on myself to skip school if we have other holiday plans.

I'd sit down and talk with your dc about how that's not how adults should talk to children. We are going to show grace and kindness to this family - we will not speak poorly of them or mistreat them. However, we will not be best friends with them either. The dc will not be left in the mother's care - ever, and your dc have every right to not play with her dc.
I can't imagine yelling at a child for not playing with my dc:confused::001_huh: WEIRD!
:iagree:Exactly what I would do!

I love CLE and am pleased they are updating the sight. I agree that there is so much more to them than what most people see at first glance. They are worth checking into!

hi, we try to follow WTM " by the Book". I follow all the book recommendations, curriculum suggestions, etc. etc. etc. but we fall short of actually reaching that standard. it is like a goal to aim for. we just haven't quite got there yet.
:iagree:This is us! We strive to meet those goals, follow the guidelines, etc. but we still fall short. I'm okay with it though because they are getting a good education and it is working for us.

I deal with this too, especially with my 8-year-old attention-needy son. One thing that I try to do if I notice he's starting to do that a lot is to make sure that I am spending some positive time during the day focused on him (not just the time I'm hounding him to do his schoolwork) - because I'm bad about being on the computer (like now, oops), reading, or generally having my attention elsewhere. He seems to do better if I make a conscious effort to BE there - mentally present - with him on a regular basis.
That being said, I also have to do the "yes, that's a cat" kind of responses now and again, too. :D
My dd9 is this way too. I know that I need to do exactly what you said, spend some positive time focused on her, but I will admit it is easier said than done. This is something I am working on. It's good to hear others' have my kind of child, lol.

I fill the kids' stockings, and dh fills mine/I fill his. We have little traditions--we each open our stocking in bed before we go downstairs to the tree. My parents started that to buy themselves some time before they had to get out of bed--I would open mine, then visit my two brothers' bedroom while they opened theirs (one of the few times I was allowed in their room! lol), then we'd call the dog upstairs (one of the few times he was allowed upstairs!) and troop to Mom and Dad's room. They never had stockings until one Christmas when all of us were teens (and 20-somethings) and bought them stockings and stuffed them.
:001_smile: I like your idea of opening them in bed before going downstairs. What a nice way to wake up and avoid having children in your room at 5am. Actually we have one early riser and we typically have to wake the other two. Neat idea though.

I can't think of anything to do with exercise but some other ideas could be: Cologne, candy, toothbrush, scratch off lottery ticket, car air freshner, mag light to keep in car, watch, multi-functional tool (Leatherman), or a magazine subscription certificate.
Okay, I thought of a couple exercise/healthy things. Not sure if they are along the right lines, but here we go: resistance bands, pain meds (lol), gym membership certificate, shoe strings (?), and that's all I'm coming up with.
HTH!

Me and dh both put them up for us. We both enjoy holiday shopping and do it together along with filling the stockings. Half the fun is staying up late and giggling as we wrap gifts and set everything out just perfect.:001_smile:
You should hang that stocking up and buy yourself something nice to go in it. Even if it's just something inexpensive and simple. You are entitled to enjoy discovering the stocking too!

Soph, thank you for your advice. We will make her an appointment since it is still weeping!

I would probably have followed the recommendations in this article, which is to say no formal arithmetic until 3rd grade (or later).
There are some very good points made in that article Ellie!

We are in Tri-Cities. I think there were about five regional events going on in WA today . . .
Tri-Cities is the one we were wanting to go to! How exciting to hear of someone close to us. It seems most NW families are from the western side of the state. I've been reading all the articles in the local newspapers about how well you all did. Congrats again!
And congrats Natalieclare for gaining top spot! As a first time coach that is spectacular!:001_smile:

We have 10% of our income go to retirement, 5% go to emergency, and 5% for savings. Typing it out is a sad realization that I wish it were more.
We do not have a college fund for our children. We believe they will need to work for that and apply for scholarships to make that a reality for them. Both myself and my husband had our college paid for in full and we both agree that it would have been much wiser to have had to work for it. It would have been more appreciated and better used. :glare: I hope we don't kick ourselves for this later in life.
I'll be interested to see how others divide out their savings.

WTM Cassandra, are you by chance in Eastern Washington? They had a robot lego event for that same age range today and we wanted to go so badly, but one of our little ones got sick so we didn't make it. I was wondering if this was the same event. Either way congratulations and best of luck to you next week!

..in that we allow our children (ages 9,5,3, and 9mos.) to do the "busy work". Our church provides a different busy bag each Sunday for the children. They pick out their bag and in it contains a pencil, crayons, and worksheets at different age ranges. The worksheets are directly related to the sermon being preached. They do the crosswords, color sheets, fill in the blanks, etc. during service. We do require them to stand when the rest of the congregation stands to show respect. I feel that even though they are doing busy work they are still absorbing what they are hearing. I am pleased that they remain quiet, show respect by standing when appropriate, and don't fuss over attending church.

We use this with dd9 and dd5 and they both do good with it. Our five year old works at a very slow pace through it and our 9yr. old does great and loves it. She isn't a natural speller but tends to like the process of doing them until until she misses a set amount or the time is up. The process of working on them (10 steps) is very effective and quick and to the point. It's a no nonsense approach that has worked great for our family.
S/O Jean Shopping for TALLS!

:lol: I couldn't help but laugh at this.
I wish it were that easy (and inexpensive) to just go to Wal-Mart, but they aren't long enough on me. I swear pants are capris, capris are boy shorts, and shorts are daisy dukes. It's sad. And then you hear all those comments, "It must be nice to have long legs like that". My response, "try shopping for them!".
